Energy and Environment Committee Meeting: Advancing Offshore Wind in the Northeast

Offshore wind activity has gained momentum in the Northeast, with some 30 gigawatts on track for development by 2030, enough to power roughly 20 million homes. The industry is expected to support tens of thousands of jobs and reduce carbon pollution, but it is still nascent, and maximizing its success will require coordinated efforts among states, industry, the federal government, and local stakeholders. This session  will provide a status report on current commercial-scale offshore wind projects, efforts to scale transmission and other infrastructure to create greater efficiencies and reduce costs, and an update on workforce and supply-chain development opportunities throughout the region.

Moderator:

Massachusetts State Senator Marc Pacheco, Co-Chair, CSG East Energy & Environment Committee, Chair, CSG State Legislative Climate Alliance

Speakers:

Christian Scorzoni, Director of Government Affairs, Vineyard Wind

Peter Shattuck, President, Anbaric New England

Bob Gordon, Commissioner, New Jersey Board of Public Utilities

New Hampshire State Senator David Watters, Chair, New Hampshire Commission to Study Offshore Wind and Port Development

Maine State Representative Lori Gramlich
